Party games that liven up the fun at home. Enjoyable recreational games (71–80)
stereo game
Perfect for quick play! Here’s an idea for a “stereo game.” First, recruit a question team: about three to four people come to the front.
Decide on a theme, and then, at the cue “Ready, go!”, each questioner simultaneously says something that fits the theme.
Everyone else tries to guess who said what.
You can add extra rules depending on the number of players and how familiar everyone is with the game.
It’s a unique game that’s great for spare moments or breaks, so give it a try!
Oogiri Werewolf: Great Wolf
A fresh new party game that combines comedy improv with Werewolf! Even if you’re not good at Werewolf or improv, you can still enjoy it.
By blending the lighthearted vibe of comedy prompts into the typically serious Werewolf format, you get a game full of laughs that still delivers the signature suspense of Werewolf.
With over 700 combinations of improv prompts and 10 different roles, there are tons of ways to play.
Earphone Loud Telephone Game
The more people you have, the more fun the “Headphone Loud-Volume Whisper Game” becomes.
The rules are simple: you play a whisper game while blasting music through headphones.
Because the loud music makes it hard to hear others’ voices, the difficulty increases—and so does the fun! Even though the music is loud, you’re using headphones, so it’s perfect for enjoying at home.
Pachi-Pachi Narcissus Game
Can you throw away your shame? It’s the “Clap Like a Narcissist” game.
Starting from 1, players say numbers in order, and anyone who lands on a multiple of 7 must clap.
However, when you clap, you have to do it in a narcissistic way! Sticking to only the multiples of 7 is surprisingly tricky, and it seems to get harder as the numbers go up.
Sticky
Sticky is a game that lets you enjoy the same heart-pounding excitement as Jenga.
You stand sticks of three colors, each with different thicknesses, through a ring, then roll a die to decide which color to pull and take turns removing them.
The rules are simple: whoever collects the most sticks wins.
It’s a game the whole family can enjoy together!
Catalog
Katalogu is a game you can play using picture books or catalogs you already have at home.
One player (the “parent”) ranks items shown in the catalog, and the others try to guess the ranking by asking questions—making it a psychological mind game.
It’s a game that kids and adults can enjoy together at the same time.
Ask smart questions and try to read the parent’s mind!
scrubbing brush
A tawashi scrubbing brush is a strong ally in the kitchen for scouring off grime, starting with burnt-on residue from frying pans.
Most people have probably touched one or at least seen one.
But when you touch a tawashi without seeing it, you might be startled by its hard, prickly feel.
The person putting their hand in will feel a little thrill, and onlookers will get a kick out of watching them gingerly touch the brush.
They come in a wide variety of shapes—round, long, and more—and their easy availability is another appealing point.
